Boston’s Best & Brightest Shine This Friday

This coming Friday, May 16, El Mundo is pleased to announce that we will hold one of our favorite annual events of the year. On Latino Youth Recognition Day, the first of three that we will celebrate this baseball season at historic Fenway Park, the biggest stars of the evening won’t be in the dugout as the Red Sox take on the Detroit Tigers.

In a one of a kind, on-field, pre-game ceremony featuring the World Champion Sox players, more than twenty hardworking Latino students from the Waltham, Boston and Springfield Public Schools will be publicly honored for their outstanding scholastic achievements, attendance, and leadership abilities. These dedicated academic all-stars serve as role models in our community, and represent the Latino community’s future leaders.

While there are many programs for underperforming students in our troubled public schools, Latino Youth Recognition Day uniquely pays tribute to the Boston area Latino community’s “best and brightest.” Their accomplishments serve as an inspiration for other young people to overcome the odds, and work towards their goals.

Along with their proud parents and other family members, El Mundo hopes that you will join us on this unforgettable night.
